Good Urban Governance
Jointly funded by BMZ and SDC and implemented by GIZ, the Urban Governance project will support municipalities in SDC’s main geographic region of intervention. Participating municipalities will benefit from capacity building and targeted urban infrastructure based on citizens’ needs and cooperate in country-wide experience sharing platforms. This mutually beneficial cooperation will allow SDC to participate in GIZ’s broad experience in the field of urban development and validate its expertise in local governance processes in rural Bangladesh.

| Contesto |
Bangladesh’s currently relatively low level of urbanization will dramatically increase in the next years. This poses a huge challenge from the perspective of bringing public services “to peoples’ doorsteps”, as the national government has promised to do. GIZ has been engaged in urban local governance processes for many years and represents an ideal partner for SDC in its aim to extend local governance expertise from rural to urban settings. |
| Obiettivi |
To contribute to a more transparent decision-making mechanism at the municipal level in order to ensure that urban disadvantaged populations have access to inclusive and efficient public services based on their demands. |
